Baby's First Haircut

Disclaimer: Some of
these photos are a bit overedited and uneven.
I recently discovered the CoffeeShop Blog's free actions for Photoshop
Elements and I"m still getting the hang of them. They are a great add to my usual Pioneer Woman Actions, though!

So on Saturday our little man had his first haircut.

I could get all sentimental or be all sad but really? It was beyond time:

He passed the cute crazy baby hair sometime around Fourth of
July when my brother commented that he looked like a hockey player. Since then his mullet has become as long
and free as one you would see at Walmart.
In 1990. Also he had this weird
stick-y up part in the back that kindof made him look like a rooster:

I debated just chopping off the back myself but babies flail
alot. So we took him to our local
barber shop (the one at Kamms Corners. I can't find a website... or even a name but Matt's been going there for years) and let the professionals fix him up.

I don't usually go for the black and white but with
the stripes and the barbershop thing I'm kindof digging it.

The end result?
ADORABLE.

He looks so much older.
Like a little boy and not just a baby.
Although perhaps some of that is contextual:

I may only be 6 months old but I'm better at this football
thing than half of the Browns.

Hello!

Hi! I'm Jeanne aka LifeInCle. I was an architect, knitter, and world traveler before my life was happily hijacked by my kids - the Girl, a fashion obsessed redhead, a little boy so chill we call him the Dude, and a toddler who thinks he's a big kid even though he's Tiny. Now I blog mainly about raising them in the city I love, Cleveland, Ohio.
